Last Tuesday evening after tie even
ing train had arrived At Daytona and been
turned around ready for the next trip,
and after the engineer and fireman hsu
left, fire was discovered in the CAB. Qul'e
a crowd assembled in few moments,
and tue fire was extinguisned speedily.
The damage was light aud easily repaired
The store OF NJ. Pellet on Ridgewood,
Daytona, was burKlariZed last tuesday
evening, and the burglars succeeded In
getting over $500 in currency and SILVER.
! Mr.. Pellet closed his safe door, locked
the store door and went 70 supper. On his
/ return he found the store door locked, Inc
safe closed, but the money had taken
wings and could not be found.
a fire broke out in the scrub Monday
near Sutton's place at Port Orange, and
burned over mile south of town.
Aliens grove and Peter Johnson's resi-
dence had narrow escapes. All Port
Orange turned out, and after sharp
fight captured" the fire. Tuesday morn
ing another IRE broke out north OF town,
and the citizens were again called out
and by noon had control.
Among the most important criminal
cases set for trial at this term OF the
court in Sumtervllle is that OF Henry II.
BrewtOn FOR murder. This case eXcites
great deal Of interest, young Brew on
being well connected and had previously
bOrue a most excellent character. The
weather is not such as we are accus-
toned to at this season. OyercOats are
much in demand. This will in all prOba-
bility be our last cold snap. Senator j.
j. Finley and Hon. John O.. ReardOn, Of
Ocala, are among the visiting attorneys.
A Nj. Whistler, of Jacksonville, had
very narrow escape from death At the
Lemon street depot OF the Jacksonville,
Tampa and Key West railroad at Paiatka
Friday night. He was standing on the
depot platform when the train moved Off,
and it mad got under pretty good Roadway
when he tried to board IT. In making the
spring TO catch the railing on the car his
foot slipped and he fell between the mov-
ing cars TO the track below and three or
four cars passed over him. Strange to-
say he was not hurt save q severe
bruise over the right lung,
which be sustained in falling. A mum Der
OF persons witnessed the accident, and eX-
pected to see him mangled every second,
but his nerve and GOODNESS, as well as his
small frame, saved his life. He lay per-
tectIy quiet, for il he had moved in the
least it would have been at the expense Of
his life. he was taken back to the city,
where he was examined and prescribed TOR
by DR.. Nice.
